The Loop Issue # 9

Keeping you in the loop with Sharesies.

💖 Investing

Our Vision: We want someone with $50 to have the same investment opportunities as someone with $50,000

1,000+ Thank You’s!

In less than 2 weeks from Sharesies Beta going live we gained 1,000 customers.

The feedback and 💖 we’re receiving is blowing our mind.

Since our last Loop, our key metrics have gone ↑↑↑:

• 4,773 followers on Facebook (↑19%)
• 1,096 active Sharesies customers (+6,347%) 🎉. These customers have invested and paid subscription.

Over the next few weeks we will be focussed on:

1. Adding new features to our Beta
2. Becoming a PIP (so we can offer a wider range of investments)
3. Ramping up our marketing

Hustling

We’ve cut down our meetings over the last week and focussed on product development, marketing and chatting to our customers.

Product progress

• 80% of people who have signed up have invested!
• We got a bit handraulic this week sending out address verification letters 💌 — a process we will automate soon but wouldn’t be a true beta without some behind the scenes hustle ;)

The handraulic side of Sharesies beta — envelope stuffing 💌

Media

• Wellington Women three page spread
• This Sunday keep an eye out for us in Sunday Star Times and catch me on Radio Live chatting Sharesies to Vaughan Davis.

Driving up content = driving up leads

• How human behaviour impacts our financial decisions
• My first time investing — #5

Asks

Can we please get your help with:

1. Sign up to our beta www.sharesies.nz/signup. Tell everyone you know & let us know what you think.
2. Share these updates.

Challenges / struggles

• Finding office space — but think we may have just locked something in.
• Being in beta is such a conflicting feeling — ½ super excited and can’t wait to see people using it and becoming investors….while other ½ feeling incredibly nervous as our beta doesn’t have all the bells and whistles we’ve got planned. Looking forward to adding some of these features very soon — such as tracking performance.

Shout outs & thank you!
